Taittiriya Upanishad (Shiksha Valli), Krishna Yajurveda · Vedic tradition (Taittiriya Shakha) · Vedic period
This Shanti Patha opens the Shiksha Valli, the first section of the Taittiriya Upanishad of the Krishna Yajurveda. Before imparting the sacred knowledge, the student invokes peace from Mitra, Varuna, Aryaman, Indra, Brihaspati and the wide-striding Vishnu, then turns to Vayu and Brahman as the directly perceptible Reality, vowing to uphold truth. It is one of the most beloved and frequently recited of all the Vedic peace invocations.
✦ ଶାସ୍ତ୍ରରେ କୁହାଯାଇଥିବା ପରି
For countless generations this invocation has begun the study of the Upanishads, and teachers say that where it is sincerely recited, the mind grows calm and the meaning of the scripture opens of its own accord. By blessing 'both me and the teacher,' it is held to weave a protective grace around the entire act of learning, so that sacred knowledge is received and transmitted in peace.
